Match Prediction — Lecce vs Pisa
Although the hosts tend to adopt a deep defensive approach even at home, they rarely manage to avoid mistakes at the back. In their last 14 Serie A home games Lecce kept a clean sheet only three times, while opponents scored two or more goals on five occasions in that span. Furthermore, the team conceded five goals across their previous three league matches.
Pisa are bold on the road and boast a strong attacking output away from home. This season they have played six away league matches and failed to score in just one — a game against Bologna in which they spent more than half the match a man down. In four separate away fixtures this campaign Pisa have scored twice, including matches against Milan and Napoli.
I expect the visitors to score at least once, so my prediction: Pisa ITB 0.5
